Limititations

• Image width is 320px
• Web fonts can prove tricky
• There's no way to pass authentication or cookie data, so you just get the "public" view of the page.
• Plugins like Flash and Java may not work.
• Complex JavaScript pages won't always work.
• It's a bit slow to generate the image.
• Only one rendering, so you can't use it to see how Firefox compares to Chrome.
